Mohe Rang De Basanti!!!

no.. dont run off.. this is no spoiler! (though I believe that nothing can spoil your first experience of Rang De Basanti-RDB)

mmmmm..

I loved the movie.. its one of the best hindi movie I have seen! Ossome is da word for it!

It was no horror movie, but, right from the start to the final scene the movie kept me glued to the seat. Well, retelling of stories of good ol' freedom fighters in no new cash-in item for bollywood. But, the way things are done in RDB is not just out of the common ways, its bang on the best road taken , ever!

Aamir Khan fails to keep you happy. He keeps you mad with glee all through!

Well, the basic idea was not just to create a historical movie,instead, it aimed at the revival of the youth.

I dunno how much the movie was a success in that direction. But surely, I am touched. And the best part is, when such a movie projects a single issue and manages to have an impact on one, the effect is rather multi faceted. As in, not just that single issue remains in one's mind anymore. All pressing needs are worked upon. All dirt cleaned. On my way back to campus with my best pal Sunil, we were having discussions on similar stuff.And one of the primary things that we landed our gaze on was the huge division in our country based on region. No, I am not speaking about the much praised cultural diversity we have. I am talking about the regional intolerence prevelent here.

My outlook I know is limited. But in this small town called IIT itself I can see a huge ridge between the people from different zones!

Well known is the "gulti" term in IIT. The students from Andhra Pradesh are called Gultis. I dunno why. Some claim its coz they speak "ulti" hindi. Well, naming people from different regions differently is not a bad thing. It sounds more like an identification in that case. But the usage here is more derogatory than anything else.

And its not just the Andraites.. most southies are looked down upon. (well my opinion) I am a mallu myself. And I know how difficult it is to get people to even care to listen to what I am saying. The general northie doesnt even expect me to talk I guess. :P.. Anyways, I feel this issue needs to be worked on.

I thought of a solution and the first thing that came to my mind is a cross state cult group.. Dunno how much feasible it is. But if we manage to get something of that sort pulled off and if people start respecting their fellow countrymen, I guess our first step to developement can be climbed!

set out!

ah, i should say i am happy today
i got some difficulties outta my way!

now love each other , we do like the rest
sure iam that we are gonna stand the test!

to talk ,we decided ,in real sweet words
and that makes me feel we are like little love birds!

arent we happy, soon you'll know
for our honeymoon, as we go!

Amazing

amazing it is.. really.. some might disagree..

but it is..

the game of basketball..

Its one amazing piece of recreation man ever thought up!

yea, you heard it right!

I said recreation.. its a sport that ensnares your senses.. it has the basic element that we look forward in anything we do!

ask me now what we look forward to in everything..

you might be thinking now what relation there is between listening to Pink Floyd and making an extra superb micro controller and doing an out of the world fake in basktetball has is common ( yea, of course , only if you are my type and still dont know what i know will you have this qn.! )


well.. they all have this " beauty " that we look forward to!

as long as you are chained by the stream of common thoughts, as long as you are the dead fish in a river, you cannot think free.. you cannot think straight..

the whole idea behind quest for new things and unearthing the brilliant past at the same time is the search for beauty..

now one might be forced to think what beauty is..

well.. beauty lies in the eye of the beholder (yea beerholder, if that makes you happy! :P ) .. i would call anything beautiful if it can cause that tingling sensation of happiness in me.. it would have this rhythm, stability and elegance that you would long to savour and to have these traits in everything you do..

And so the three activities mentioned a while ago goes on to be in the same category, beautiful stuff!

Listen to "time" by Pink Floyd.
some lines that i personally love in it are:
"Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it’s sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you’re older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death "

maaaaan, they make so much sense.. and then always there is Gilmour or Waters.

same goes as far as the microcontroller part goes. How beautiful it is when a little piece of nonliving thing you created thinks for itself and does what its designed for in style..

and so does an amazing fake in basketball make you happy!

And the whole point of my writing all this crap was that I played amazingly (ofcourse, according to me :D ) today !

I guess it should prove good for me, with interhostel tourney coming up soon!

Wish Me Luck!

C-C-D !

... or cafe coffee day is where I found myself!

when? (You Might Ask- YMA)

today in the evening..

why? (YMA)

coz i wanted to spend some time off.. some time with a friend of mine.. a real close on at that..

well, then? (YMA again)

then what! what a stupid qn.. i gulped down a hot cuppa of Cafe Grande (with an Irish flavour add-on!)

well, whats so special here then? (YMA though you are bugged and dont wanna!)

well, nothing much to be precise.. but had to pull this friend's legs.. :D
so lemme introduce..
Sunil Kundal

This guy is one helluva lazy guy!

Very good at some stuff but amazingly.. ahem ahem.. at others!




So, why were you with this guy? (YMA and I am sure u r least bothered!)

coz i feel that we missed something when we spent a lotta time apart (ref. : previous blog!)

Then, what happened? (YMA with some interest now! )

then is the sad part.. this guy is a bloody hungry moron! the place was empty when we started off! (eating ofcourse,what else!?)



but he started off eating..




firstly he ordered a cappachillo and a chicken hotdog which like any other food item perished and my friend didnt look happy..



he sat there downing the cappa-whatever.. and i kept waiting..




well.. i could feel that he was contemplating the prospect of getting something more to eat.. voila... true i was!!! he ordered for cheese croissants!


And my coffee was over!





gosh! this guy loves cheese and eats cheese sandwiches like they were his daily bread!




and then, i looked around and found to no suprise that the place was deserted already!


and then, finally the croissants vanished too..

and we gave a final look at the amazing eatables they have shown on their walls and decided its better to leave..

They looked amazing!

Well.. Its a start!

well.. well.. everything has a first time.. so does blogging.. Havent really got anything interesting to blog right now.. ya, except maybe a recent update of my situation!

well..

i had gone through a really disorganised stretch of time for the past 6-7 months. dont ask me why.. my frnz know.

A strong belief in my love held my hands and led me to this small cube where I am contained, breathless and stupid!

Found out recently that my love hardly loves me! wow, what a thing to realize! yea you might say that i have been stupid if i had failed to see it so far! but no. I would say that I just missed a lot of facts blinded by love! Well.. as she puts it, I have been going through an emotional saga, a family drama in which she has no interest! but then, where have all those promises gone.. where are those times we shared ?! where is my love.. where did all my efforts go?

Am I just an immature kid that she believes I am, or am i not right in trying and doing all i could to stay on in this relationship!

If I got sad and hurt myself, is that just a plain attention seeking act? Am I not getting hurt? Am I senseless? Is pain not a part of my life?

Why did i do what i did?

Can anyone give me answers?!

I would look foreward to them!
